The latest updates to the Homeworld Remastered Mod are all about the Skipper Missile. Several iterations have been released that update the Skipper's code to properly cloak and decloak as it cruises through space. There have also been AI tweaks to better guide when the computer deploys the missile as well as bug fixes that address an issue with deploying it against large bases. He's also put out a call for suggestions for Confed items that could be seen as a special ability along the same lines. Some good ideas have already been put forth - you can add yours at the CIC Forums!

Question for the attendance: I'm looking for suggestions towards Confederation gimmicks. The Border Worlds have their spammable bombers as well as their modular turret system, the Kilrathi have their cruise missiles, some specialist fighters like the Sorthak or K'ha'haf and now has the Skipper, but the Confederation doesn't really have much more than the Prowler corvette. Sure, there's the Excalibur that kicks all sorts of ass, but it misses that flavour...

Thus a call for ideas. I'll probably hit the Kilrathi with a nerf over the next few weeks, because they are feeling definitely OP now.

Check Out Kilrathi Saga's Swag

Longtime Wingnut Joshua Dworkin has put together a pretty neat unboxing video. Since this trend came along relatively recently, it's cool to see these done for classic Wing Commanders, and I don't think we've posted a Kilrathi Saga version before. Completionists will be happy to see that he's kept his unrelated reference cards and advertisements, and we get good glimpses at the awesome discs, beefy manual and super cool 2673/1997/2003/2014/2025 calendar.

Stealth Carrier Sneaks Into The News

DefianceIndustries has put together a very sleek stealth carrier that belongs to the Black Lance. He's dubbed it the Typhon, and it's strongly inspired by the Evansville class transport depicted in Wing Commander 4. The ship has been modeled in really exotic detail with nifty hexagonal hull patterns and interior items on the flight deck. (2018-02-12)
